Le Tonkinois Oil Lacquer, Colourless, 1 l

Linseed oil has been used to protect wood and metal for centuries. Le Tonkinois natural oil lacquer only contains linseed oil of the highest purity. This oil is pressed using a manual process that has endured for more than 100 years, and is refined at 270 °C. Tung oil is added to the final product to make the surface even more water-resistant and durable. Le Tonkinois does not contain any aromatic, volatile, chlorinated or harmful solvents or chemical UV stabilisers. 40-50 ml will cover 1 m² per coat.

Le Tonkinois

It is an ecologically safe oil lacquer that has been approved by the French navy for use on their boats. Le Tonkinois provides excellent protection from moisture and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. This makes it ideal not only for furniture in the house but also for wood lagging, windows and external doors as well as garden furniture. The oil lacquer is applied with a brush in several coats with intermediate sanding, similar to stains, and should be renewed after about 1-2 years (depending on weather conditions). We recommend diluting Le Tonkinois with turpentine oil for the first coat. Detailed application instructions are provided.
